Drilling mud pumps are used on rigs for mud circulation. The pumps
suit the best for processing drilling oil wells. Shale Pumps offer different
types of used, remanufactured, and new
drilling equipment for international and domestic drilling companies.
There are
three different basic kinds of drilling
pumps, each with their own unique set of
parts and components.
è Quintuplex
The pumps
are perfect for pumping fluid at the time of drilling operations. It works best as a continuous duty piston. It is used in
terms of the external bearings to offer crankshaft support to ensure the proper functionality
of the sheaves.
è Triplex
The pump is used for drilling applications needing high
pump pressure. The model works after decreasing the working fluid volume
getting discharged to generate demand for
the production of the flow. There are three pistons in the triplex, with the
middle one creating a lot of pressure on the crankshaft. High piston load can lead to
the failure of the crankshaft and
excessive pressure if the components are appropriately sourced.
è Duplex
The pumps
ensure that the circulation of mud reaches the bottom of the well from the mud
cleaning system. These pumps have binocular floating seals and safety valves.
Mud pump parts: Features
Drilling mud pumps can be differentiated in single and double-acting pumps
as per the completion time of the
drainage and suction action in a cycle of the reciprocal motion of the piston.
The pumps are available in different
sizes, additionally to the types, viz., duplex, triplex,
or quintuplex.
The latest developed ones are the hex pumps having six vertical pistons and quintuplex
with six horizontal plungers.
Mud pump parts
The fluid
end offers liners, valves, and pistons
for the process of pumping. These are the high wear items needing frequent
replacement of the parts. Severe vibrations
caused by the process of pumping necessitate a discharge and suction pulsation
dampening component. Power end of the mud pump transitions power of the driveshaft to the reciprocating motion of a
piston.
Smooth
operations will be possible when the right quality
drilling mud pump parts are sourced.
